The rough is very difficult to deal with. The grass is different than most courses and really grabs at your club. Hitting in the rough puts you off schedule in the best of times before they prepare the course for the Open.
The wind and cool damp air near the ocean is the other main challenge. It’s warmer than usual this week, but usually holes right on the bluffs play very different than the ones a bit more protected from the wind.
The greens are not the hard and fast greens you see elsewhere.

I missed the deadline on the PGA after doing really well at the Masters. Pretty sure I'm out of the running for the entire season already, so why not put up a poorly-chosen team for the US Open and watch how badly I crash and burn? I have nothing to lose. With that said, here is team rsv.

Is it too late in the season for "June Gloom" to set in and reduce the visibility to almost nothing?
I was playing at Torrey Pines, and there was a fog bank over the beach and just inland. The first guy in my foursome ted up his ball aiming at the ocean. I wish I had said, "Here, use this ball," and let him proceed.
No. It’s prime June Gloom and coastal fog time with the cool moist ocean air hugging the coast and the hot inland air colliding. Monday I was driving home and there was a gigantic bank of fog funneling up the valley just north of the course. Think fog spreading through the golden gate, but up a valley instead.
It is currently unusually hot inland, but still high 70s at the coast. I wouldn’t be surprised by some fog. It will probably burn off at some point, but for the holes closest to the ocean you never know.

I’m going back to my roots and picking only “value” picks where they round down.
